THOONGAVANAM STORY:
Two corrupted police officers ck diwakar( kamal hassan) and mani( yugi sethu) robs 10klo cocaine from the associates of a drug lord vital( prakash raj), soon vital kidnaps ck diwakar only son and asks him to handover the cocaine to him in exchange for his son in the mean time vital is under pressure to deliver that cocaine to someone at higher level to his business
So when diwakar goes to return that cocaine to vital everything gets messy and things go in an unexpected way when two other officers from bureau trisha and her colleague kishore investigates diwakar and the rest of the story is how diwakar rescues his son and escapes the consequences .
The good stuff:
Screenplay has been really good the rntire firsy half is highly engaging and keeps you entertained throughout with humour and serious tone, action scenes are thrilling and realistic, there is a particular action scene shot in the kitchen that deserves an applause.
Every actor in thr film gave a great performance throughout the movie .Music scored by gibran deserves a special mention , there are no songs in the movie, bgm( back ground music) is excellent and lifts the mood of the film .The entire movie has been shot in a night club and the story takes place in one night which added a thrilling note to the movie .
The bad stuff:
Second half should have been a bit better, it was not thrilling as first half other than that there is nothing bad about the movie
Verdict:
After the much hyped and failed movie like uthama villain kamal hassan chose the a thriller subject which is racy and keeps you entertained with its humour, almost everything is good about the movie, I have enjoyed watching thoongavanam and I am sure you will too.
